Phenom II X6 1090T CPU Review
VirtualDub + DivX
Contents
With VirtualDub we converted a full-length DVD movie to DivX format and saw how long it took for this conversion to be completed. The DivX codec is capable of recognizing and using not only more than one CPU (i.e., more than one core), but also the SSE4 instruction set (feature not available on the reviewed CPUs).
The movie we chose to convert was Star Trek – The Motion Picture: Director’s Cut. We copied the movie to our hard disk drive with no compression, so the final original file on our HDD was 6.79 GB. After compressing it with DivX, the final file was only 767.40 MB, which is quite r
emarkable.
The results below are given in seconds, so the lower the better.
On DivX encoding the new Phenom II X6 1090T was 8% faster than Phenom II X4 965 and 12% faster than Core i7-870. Core i5-750 was 10% faster, Core i7-965 was 14% faster and Core i7-980X was 18% faster than the reviewed CPU.
